SaveExtractor.py

A save file extractor for The Binding Of Isaac: Repentance.

Ported from wofsauge/IsaacSavegameReader, in order to be more easily ran on Linux.

It generates files that can be used in External Item Descriptions, and Dead God Helper. Theses files contain information about which items were already picked up.

Usage

python ./saveextractor.py path/to/savefile.dat saveid

It will generate the following files in the current directory:

  • eid_savegame.lua to be put in EID's mod folder, inside the scripts subfolder
  • saveX.dat to be put in DeadGod Helper's data folder

Example

Since I'm on Linux (and using the Steam version of TBOI), folders are a little bit different than on Windows, more info for save files location here

Extracting information from save file 2

The number 196602716 corresponds to my Steam Account ID, it will be different on your side.

python ./saveextractor.py ~/.steam/steam/userdata/196602716/250900/remote/rep_persistentgamedata2.dat 2

Moving generated files to the corresponding location

mv save2.dat ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/The\ Binding\ of\ Isaac\ Rebirth/data/deadgod\ helper/
mv eid_savegames.lua ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/The\ Binding\ of\ Isaac\ Rebirth/mods/external\ item\ descriptions_836319872/scripts/
